I’m going insane trying to find out how to change the background color of the Java editor in Eclipse (3.0.2). In “Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor” there’s no entry for background color. Could it be that it is not possible?! 
Should this be the case I’m not changing from UltraEdit, that’s for sure. I just can’t believe how such a feature would be left out from a powerful IDE like Eclipse…
UPDATE: I just found it by accident; the background can be set from the syntax highlighting tab.
